I have never heard of people giving pets middle names before. Did she use both names to call it to heel when out on walks? The dog that is, not the child.

Lol knowing her...

It was hyphenated,not that it makes it any more normal:rotfl:

As some people have mentioned, you have grandchildren by daughters, and so you'll be a bit closer to them than the other grandma.

Definitely not a given.

Totally. The "cyber bullying" off topic was ridiculous.

Very true.

I was close to both my grandmothers the same even though I saw one a lot more than the other because she lived closer.

It all depends on the relationship you build with them, not how much you see of them etc.

I can't see why anyone wants to start a Granny v Granny battle in the first place - there's room in a child's life for any number of people who love him and care for and about him. No need to be competitive about it!

Thats hilarious. But is it wrong to say I think thats quite a nice name for a dog.

I actually call my cats by my surname sometimes, I mean I dont go around calling them my surname, I'll call them their name and then my surname or my initial, I have a cat called beans and sometimes I call him beansie b.

I could be calling him anything for all he knows or cares.

No way on this planet would I call one of my cats after any of my relatives, just dont think it would work. But if you think about it, some dogs do get called names that people have, one of my pals mums dog was called Toby. When I was growing up we had a cat called Toby as well. One of my mums cats was called Rosie, but not after anyone, just a random name. Another was called Chelsea but that was the name she had when she was rescued.

Ahem.

Not only do my pets have middle names but they have forum names too.

Love your grandchildren no matter what the birth certificates say.

My lads answer to a range of names anyway ("onions, you toad, I said change the sprout!") - loving them anyway is the important bit.

As an encore, the less you judge & more you love, the more cherished a Gran you will be! Don't let what they're *called* get to you!

My vets use the animal's name plus the owner's last name, it always makes me smile when I'm in the waiting room and they call out 'Alfie McDonald' or 'Suzie Jones' and it means a kitten or a parrot.
